2008 Winter Premium Roasted Dong Ding Oolong - Aged Charcoal
This winter is very special to the tea world, or just to us, because we can now offer the commonly known competition grade Dong Ding at a very affordable price. Moreover, the material is from the deep mountain in Dong Ding. The altitude is at 1600 meters and plantation is remote and untouched which make this a very clean tea even though not organically certified.
This tea is not only a simple competition Dong Ding to us, but like all other teas we are offering this winter, a even better gift to the world who loves Taiwanese teas. This tea made me say wow. The first sip was so vital and full. It impressed me with smooth roasted flavor that reminded me of crisp fresh sprouts, only roasted.By the second round it became strong and full. The roast more noticeable. Yet the unique sprouted veggie flavor persisted in the aftertaste. It felt paradoxically refreshing and warming in the body.After a few steeps the sprout quality transforms into more of a nutty and sweet lingering flavor.
